I just got my pre-order disc from EB (in-store). It's got the Atari arcade game, Rogues Squadron III playable/movie, Gladius trailer, and concept art. The classic arcade game uses a memory card (I guess to track scores) which I thought was wierd for a demo disk. Hell yeah...5 bucks well spent.

My local best buy (southern california) had a ton of these disks last week. They had a pricetag of 5 bucks, but none of the workers knew if it was to preorder the game, and I wasn't about to pay 5 bucks just for the demo. Even if it includes multiplayer RS2 and other neat things...

I pre-ordered RS3 today and got the preview disc. Star Wars Arcade is alot of fun, wish I could say the same thing about the RS3 demo. I won't be picking up RS3 now.

Where did you hear it was the 27th? Gamestop by me just got it in wednesday. Of course the closest EBgames has no clue when they will get theirs in since they have stupid employees working there.

My local EB had them, but there were no ads for it, so I had to ask. They also had a simpsons hat if you preordered Simpsons Hit and Run.

Picked up the disc yesterday and the demo did nothing to interest me in buying the game. It seems to have all the same problems as RLII. Its everything I hated about the last game times 2. Bad controls, useless radar and its still very easy to get completely lost during air battles, and people whinning non stop for you to save them. No thanks.

Star Wars Arcade was fun to play and I guess thats about all I got for my $5. Should have gotten the Simpsons hat instead.

Question......

It's good that this SW title is coming out soon but why isn't this title coming out for the PS2? It's a well known fact that this console has a large user installed base and it would be a no-brainer to have this title on this console for the developers to make money.

Umm, the Rogue Squadron series has always been exclusive to Nintendo since the N64. The developer, Factor 5, is practically or is a second party to Nintendo which means it will never be on another system(not including pc). The developers make plenty of cash from the Gamecube versions of Rogue Squadron.

Thanks for the response I just don't see the logic of it all if Factor 5 went multi-platform with this title they could have even made more money with this title. I'm sure they are smart enough to realize that haven't they?

Using that logic, then nothing third-party would be exclusive.

Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft pay some companies for exclusivity. It's how the business has always worked.

No, it would be a great thing, but we'll never be that lucky.

I'd love to have to own only one system to play everything.

Factor 5 was bought completely by Nintendo. It's a second-party game.

Yeah same here I guess I can only dream can't I about owning just one system to play everything all well at least the PS2 has backward compatability to play PS1 games when I feel nostalgic for some older games.

All right they own Factor 5 but when does the SW license expire?
